The above detailed points should make it very clear why institutions are increasingly adopting Ripple platform for settlements. Given the salient features and great maturity of their time-tested production-ready code, I believe this is just a beginning. I am certain that the platform will continue to see increased adoption on both private and public space, implementing myriad of use cases.

Future for Fintech is bright, and in particular for Ripple, we shoudl congratulate them on their well deserved success.

"In my personal opinion this unique and balanced positioning, and respect for regulation and compliance in the ecosystem is perhaps the single most corner-stone reason why they have attracted so many world class institutions. XRP being the class protocol asset provides for universal acceptance throughout the ecosystem, and also can act as bridge between diverse currency-pair conversions."

"*note : as of rippled 0.60.0 Escrow is available on the native crypto-currency (XRP) only. Future releases are supposed to support Escrow on IOUs, however when you are suspending payment for conditional dispatch, do you want to hold suspended funds in a liability (AKA: IOU). I personally believe XRP is the best asset for Escrow as it is free from country party-risk and universally accepted throughout the ecosystem."

Liquidity providers can bridge any currencies directly through XRP, saving them from having to maintain accounts with each counter party for each currency ( Ex: A 'Bank' or 'Remittance Operator', having to maintain an account in every regional currency they operate in, often with 'trusted' custodian and/or partner institutions acting as intermediaries: aka: nostro/vostro accounts).

Also, XRP does not require bank accounts, service fees, counter party risk, or additional operational costs, and hence XRP is the true protocol enabler on the RCL, which is a public good, open for one and all.

Lastly, in a more complex setup, involving trust and/or swap lines between multiple parties, your 'compound transactions' can avoid having to depend on others 'IOU liability' and entirely eliminate risk of IOU failures, by making sure all the interconnected transactions clear in XRP, a liability freenative currency, through and through.
